Identifies keywords associated with the page. These are not displayed anywhere, but are useful to help search engines locate the page. (Essentially, this generates a <meta name='keywords' content='...' /> element in the output.)

(:linebreaks:), (:nolinebreaks:)

Honors any newlines in the markup; i.e., text entered on separate lines in the markup will appear as separate lines in the output. Use (:nolinebreaks:) to cause text lines to automatically join again.

(:linkwikiwords:), (:nolinkwikiwords:)

Enables/disables WikiWord links in text.

(:markup:) ... (:markupend:) or (:markup:)[=...=]

Can be used for markup examples, showing first the markup and then the result of the markup.

Options

(:markup class=horiz:) will show the markup side by side instead of one upon the other.

(:markup caption='...':) adds a caption to the markup example.

(:markupend:) is not required when using (:markup:)[=...=].

Note that the placement of newlines is very important for this markup. If you are using the [=...=] option then the opening [= MUST occur on the same line as the (:markup:). If you are using the full (:markup:) ... (:markupend:) form then your markup code must appear AFTER a newline after the initial (:markup:).

(:messages:)

Displays messages from PmWiki or recipes, for instance from editing pages.

(:noaction:)

Turns off the section of the skin marked by <!--PageActionFmt--> thru <!--/PageActionFmt-->. In the pmwiki skin, this turns off the display of the actions at the top-right of the page (other skins may locate the actions in other locations).

(:nogroupheader:)

(:nogroupfooter:)

Turns off any groupheader or groupfooter for the page. (See GroupHeaders.)

(:noheader:), (:nofooter:)

(:noleft:), (:noright:), (:notitle:)

If supported by the skin, each of these turns off the corresponding portion of the page.

Redirects the browser to another page, along with a redirect message. For security reasons this only redirects to other pages within the wiki and does not redirect to external urls. The status= option can be used to return a different HTTP status code as part of the redirect. The from= option limits redirects to occuring only on pages matching the wildcarded name (helpful when (:redirect:) is in another page). The quiet=1 option allows the target page not to display a link back to the original page ($EnableRedirectQuiet variable should be set to 1).

(:spacewikiwords:), (:nospacewikiwords:)

Enables/disables automatic spacing of WikiWords in text.

(:title text:)

Sets a page's title to be something other than the page's name. The title text can contain apostrophes and other special characters. If there are multiple titles in a page, the last one encountered wins (see also $EnablePageTitlePriority about how to change it).

(:nl:)

Creates a new line if there isn't one already there. See this thread for more info.

Can I get (:redirect:) to return a "moved permanently" (HTTP 301) status code?

Use (:redirect PageName status=301:).

Is there any way to prevent the "redirected from" message from showing at the top of the target page when I use (:redirect:)?

From version 2.2.1 on, set in config.php $EnableRedirectQuiet=1; and in the page (:redirect OtherPage quiet=1:) for a quiet redirect.

Is there any method for redirecting to the equivalent page in a different group, i.e. from BadGroup/thispage => GoodGroup/thispage using similar markup to (:redirect Goodgroup.{Name}:)?

(:redirect Goodgroup.{$Name}:) works if you want to put it in one page.

If you want it to work for the entire group, put (:redirect Goodgroup.{*$Name}:) into Badgroup.GroupHeader - however, that only works with pages that really exist in Goodgroup; if you visit a page in Badgroup without a corresponding page of the same name in Goodgroup, instead of being redirected to a nonexistant page, you get the redirect Directive at the top of the page.

With (:if exists Goodgroup.{*$Name}:)(:redirect Goodgroup.{*$Name}:)(:ifend:) in Badgroup.GroupHeader you get redirected to Goodgroup.Name if it exists, otherwise you get Badgroup.Name without the bit of code displayed.
